摘要:
We compared the family distances of patients with autosomal recessive disorders with those of a random control group and a matched control group. Only in the great-grandparental generation were weak-significant differences found. We also found that the family distances of persons with an urban origin were significantly larger than those of persons with a rural origin. In our study, family distance seems to be a more powerful measure of hidden consanguinity than the parental distance.
